Install the Jellyfin repo as a ZIP add-on. Then install whatever you need from that repo.
Hi Guys,
Quick one, i have Jellyfin Server and Kodi running on a same pc, OS is Xubuntu
I would like to move his setup to LibreElec, so question....Is there a way to install a Jellyfin Server in Libreelec?, i tried to enable SSH, putty to LibreElec and run the Jellyfin install commands without success.
Any pointers if this is doable?
The LibreELEC Jellyfin addon runs well.
Sorry to revive this.
I have my media on a QNAP NAS, and I know I can run jellyfin directly on there, but it seems like it will be a real pain.
Is it possible to run jellyfin on LibreElec, and point it at the media on the NAS, and to then be able to use a jellyfin app on AppleTV or similar to be able to watch those videos from a remote location?

Mount your NAS share on Libreelec and Jellyfin addon on Libreelec will see your media.
Thanks for the very helpful reply.
So at the moment I don't mount the NAS share. For Kodi, I used advancedsettings.xml to point to a database.
So my understanding/hope is that jellyfin won't mess with my existing Kodi setup unless I was to enter the jellyfin client plugin.
Basically, I've been using plex on my NAS to allow me to watch media on the go, but they are putting the price up, so I would like a cheaper (ideally free) option.

Main part of NAS cost is hardware kit and storage devices. Kodi/Libreelec is stuff that you attach to your tv. Jellyfin and NAS are things attached to your network. You can put your Jellyfin server on your media kit next to tv or on your NAS kit in your basement. Libreelec does not have NAS functions for storage management and resilience. If you are looking for your qnas replacement, you are on wrong forum.
Sorry, you have misunderstood me.
My media are on my NAS, and always will be. Kodi works and I have my media configured using an sql database.
So my question relates to configuration of jellyfin on LibreElec. In order for jellyfin to 'find' my media, do I actually need to mount the NAS share, or can I direct jellyfin to find it?
I've had a play around, and it looks like I do.
However, I don't think jellyfin works in quite the same way as plex, so it looks like if I want to allow remote access to the server, I have to 'open up' my network, which would carry risk. It also requires that my home IP address is static, and that I have a bit more networking expertise that I currently have!
